What happened
During a filming mission intended to capture footage of Heathrow Airport, an aircraft carrying one pilot and two filmmakers experienced a critical failure during its landing sequence. The flight was proceeding without incident until the crew began the final approach to the runway. During this phase of flight, the right engine experienced a technical malfunction and ceased operation.
In the ensuing difficulty, the pilot inadvertently deactivated the left engine. This error resulted in an aerodynamic stall, causing the aircraft to crash before reaching the runway. There were three fatalities reported as part of the incident's impact on the crew's safety, though all three occupants managed to evacuate the wreckage. The aircraft was subsequently declared a total loss.
Findings
Investigations into the accident identified two primary contributing factors. First, the right engine suffered an uncommanded failure during the final approach. Second, the pilot's decision to shut down the incorrect engine directly led to the loss of control and the subsequent crash.
